Majority quality adjectives has two forms - full and short: talented - talented; noble - noble; wayward - wayward; ferocious - ferocious.

In modern Russian, the short form is formed from the stem of the full form with endings: zero for the masculine gender, -а, -о (respectively for the feminine and neuter genders. Sometimes a fluent vowel -е- appears between the final consonants of the stem in masculine forms).

In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the following: for many adjectives ending in -stvenny, -enny, a short form singular the masculine gender has a truncated suffix: peculiar - peculiar; solemn - solemn: essential - essential; painful - painful; related - related, etc. The formation of precisely forms with a truncated suffix, according to the observations of scientists, reflects the trend in the development of this group of adjectives in the modern Russian language. Parallel forms that arise in the practice of their use (immoral - immoral, insensitive - insensitive, numerous - numerous, mysterious - mysterious, etc.) are permissible, but the variant in -en is more strict, and not in -enen.

Only a small number of adjectives in this group form short forms ending in -enen: arrogant, inviolable, unquestionable, ordinary, frank, penetrating, respectable, timely and some. others

Not all qualitative adjectives form a short form. They don't have it:

1) adjectives with suffixes -sk-, -ichesk-, -ensk-, -ov, -ev-, a number of adjectives with the suffix -n-: "boorish act", "ironic notes", "prudish voice", "ordinary employee ", "key problem", "early morning";

2) some verbal adjectives, with the suffix -l-: experienced, melted; as well as many adjectives that are real participles in origin: outstanding (abilities), swollen (face), etc .;

3) many adjectives with subjective assessment suffixes: fat, reddening, clean, unpretentious;

4) many adjectives relative in origin denoting colors: coffee, chocolate, lilac;

5) adjectives denoting the colors of horses: buckskin, black, bay, savrasy;

6) words: younger, older, big, as well as some colloquial words: lesser, cursed, etc.

There are such high-quality adjectives that are used only in a short form, but do not have a full form: glad, much, love, necessary.

Some multi-valued adjectives do not form a short form for each of the meanings. For example, the adjective has three meanings: 1) visible, visible; 2) significant, important; 3) tall, stately, representative, the short form is only in the first meaning: "The house is visible from afar."

There are adjectives in which the full and short forms differ in meaning. For example: domineering - inclined to command, subjugate himself ("powerful man") and domineering - "having the power to dispose, command" ("We are not in power in our fate" - P.); due - "as it should be, appropriate, appropriate" ("to show due attention") and must - "obliged" ("... I had to prepare a samovar for the masters" - M.G.); "We owe Yegor for five months ... We should not start salaries for servants" - Ch.).

It is interesting to pay attention to the following. Although the presence of a short form is traditionally considered a specific grammatical feature of quality adjectives, some relative adjectives also have it. Thus, the 4-volume "Dictionary of the Russian Language" of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR gives a short form to such, for example, adjectives as childless, homeless, unarmed, free, pregnant, unprecedented, monochrome, etc., which are relative, since: 1) denote a sign that cannot be quantitatively changed; 2) have synonymous constructions with the word from which they are formed: childless - not having children, homeless - not having a home, unprecedented - not having a precedent, one-color - painted in one color, etc.; 3) do not change in degrees of comparison.

Short Form Education

Most quality adjectives have two forms - full and short: talented - talented;noble - noble;wayward - wayward; ferocious - ferocious.

In modern Russian, the short form is formed from the stem of the long form * with endings: zero for masculine, -a ,-about (respectively for feminine and neuter genders. Sometimes a fluent vowel appears between the final consonants of the stem in masculine forms -e- ).

* AT Old Russian full forms, on the contrary, were secondary and were formed from more ancient short forms by adding demonstrative pronouns to them u(b)yu, n, performing a function similar to the functions of definite articles in Western European languages: good + and(b)® kind;of good + yu ® kind; good + n ® good etc.

In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the following: for many adjectives ending in -stvenny ,-enny, the short form of the masculine singular has a truncated suffix: characteristic - characteristic;solemn - solemn:significant - significant;painful - painful; related - kindred etc. The formation of precisely forms with a truncated suffix, according to the observations of scientists, reflects the trend in the development of this group of adjectives in the modern Russian language * Parallel forms that arise in the practice of their use ( immoral - immoral, insensible - insensible, numerous - numerous, mysterious - mysterious etc.) are admissible, but the variant on -en , not on –enen **.

** Therefore, the following cases of using adjectives in newspaper texts are unfortunate: "Next - work with young families. Who is responsible for the implementation of the plan? Almost everyone" (Koms. pr. 1987. May 22); "This model can take off from a very short runway, and in general such an aircraft is more maneuverable. The span of the main wings is about 16 meters" (Koms. Pr. 1989. July 16). Forms with a truncated suffix should have been used: responsible, flexible.

Only a small number of adjectives in this group form short forms ending in

-enen:haughty, inviolable, undoubted, ordinary, frank, penetrating, venerable, timely and some others

Not all qualitative adjectives form a short form *. They don't have it:

1) adjectives with suffixes –sk-, -ichesk-, -ensk- ,-ov,-ev-, a series of adjectives with a suffix -n- : "boorish deed", " ironic notes", " sanctimonious voice", " Private employee", " key problem", " early morning";

2) some verbal adjectives, with a suffix -l- : seasoned, mellow; as well as many adjectives that are real participles in origin: outstanding(capabilities), swollen(face), etc.;

3) many adjectives with subjective evaluation suffixes: thick, blushing, clean, unpretentious;

4) many relative adjectives denoting colors: coffee, chocolate, lilac;

5) adjectives denoting the colors of horses: buckskin, black, bay, savrasy;

6) words: junior, senior, big, as well as some vernacular words: smaller, ugly and etc.

* The vast majority of these adjectives do not form synthetic forms of degrees of comparison either.

There are such qualitative adjectives that are used only in a short form, but do not have a full form: glad, much, love, necessary.

Some multi-valued adjectives do not form a short form for each of the meanings. For example, the adjective prominent, having three meanings: 1) visible, visible; 2) significant, important; 3) tall, stately, representative, the short form is only in the first meaning: "House visible from afar."

There are adjectives in which the full and short forms differ in meaning. For example: overbearing - inclined to command, to subdue oneself (" overbearing man") and domineering -"having the power to dispose, command" ("Not domineering we are in our destiny" - P.); due -"as it should be, appropriate, appropriate" ("show due attention") and must -"must" ("... I must was to prepare a samovar for the masters" - M.G.); "We Egor must for five months ... You should not start salaries for servants "- Ch.).

It is interesting to pay attention to the following. Although the presence of a short form is traditionally considered a specific grammatical feature of quality adjectives, some relative adjectives also have it. Thus, the 4-volume "Dictionary of the Russian Language" of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR gives a short form to such, for example, adjectives as childless, homeless, unarmed, free, pregnant, unprecedented, single color etc., which are relative, since: 1) they denote a sign that cannot be quantitatively changed; 2) have synonymous constructions with the word from which they are formed: childless - having no children homeless - having no home unprecedented - without precedent, monochrome - painted in one color, etc.; 3) do not change in degrees of comparison.
